Join us online on October 23 for this year's Vienna Gödel Lecture with #NobelLaureate Geoffrey Hinton! Geoffrey Hinton will offer a brief—and admittedly biased—history of AI before exploring what it actually means for an AI to understand a sentence.  He will also examine the risks of releasing AI agents designed to maximize profits, and propose a new way of thinking about how we might coexist with superintelligent AI. 📅 When? **October 23, 17:00-19:00** 📌 Where? **Online!** Join us online: 👉 https://lnkd.in/dER2CBfW Join us for this unique occasion, and hear the "Godfather of AI" challenge what we think we know about the present and future of AI! #AI #KurtGödel #ViennaGödelLecture #SuperintelligentAI Technisches Museum Wien mit Österreichischer Mediathek 📸 ©️ Amélie Chapalain / TU Wien Informatics

What will the future of Computer Science look like in the age of AI? Join us on October 6 for an online panel discussion as part of our #DigitalHumanism Lecture Series, featuring Gaétan Hains (Université Paris-Est Créteil), Paola Inverardi (GSSI - Gran Sasso Science Institute) and Alexander Wolf (University of California, Santa Cruz) moderated by Hannes Werthner (TU Wien Informatics). Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping higher education and raising fundamental questions about the future of Computer Science (CS) as an academic discipline. CS departments around the world are rethinking their educational mission, research priorities, and institutional role: What should we teach in the future? How will we conduct research, and what will be the key research topics? And what should be the role of CS in the university of the future? 📅 When: October 6, 17:00–18:00 CEST 📌 Where: Online via Zoom 📺 The talk will also be live-streamed and recorded on the Digital Humanism YouTube Channel. Curious?

From September 14-17, ethical hackers gathered in Linz for the finals of the Austria Cyber Security Challenge 2026 🏆 ! The ACSC takes place once a year and is organized by CyberSecurityAustria CSA and the Cybersecurity Center TU Wien. The event brought together the best participants from the qualification rounds in a bid to solve #CTF challenges. Participants competed in two age groups and an open category: ages 14 to 20 (Juniors), ages 21 to 25 (Seniors), and an open class for anyone interested in ethical hacking, regardless of age or education. This year, teams competed in an attack-and-defense challenge, in which they had to find and fix a set of security weaknesses in their systems while simultaneously attempting to exploit weaknesses in other teams’ systems. Success depended not only on each participant’s technical expertise but also on effective group organization and teamwork, as well as on the ability to adapt quickly and perform under pressure. Other highlights included a Live Capture-the-Flag contest and a hardware challenge from Siemens. “ACSC is the main initiative in Austria to foster young talents in cybersecurity. Participants acquire and develop skills that are immediately applicable in the real world, contributing to shortening the cybersecurity skills gap and improving the overall security of our digital society," says Marco Squarcina, who is part of the organizing team and assistant professor at TU Wien Informatics. We congratulate the winners of the #ACSC2026: #Juniors: Joachim Eder, Tim Pichler, Max Sitter, Konrad Fidler, Simon Rechberger, Alexander Sauberer, Tobias Kendlbacher. #Seniors: Christoph Tantscher, Katia Eder, Benjamin Oberdorfer, Maximilian Felix Richmond, Wiltschko, Nikolaus Haider, Darius-Cristian Pavelescu, Jannik S. #OpenClass: Markus Müllner, Arthur Deierlein, Jonas Heschl, Maybrit Schröder, Dominik Apel.
